Signs your iPhone 14 Pro Max charging port needs a look

  • The Lightning plug doesn't go all the way in, leaving a small gap
  • Charging starts and stops when you move the phone in bed
  • It charges on MagSafe but not on any Lightning cable you try
  • CarPlay drops out while the phone is plugged in
  • The port has visible green or white residue after the phone got wet

If the plug or port gets hot, smells burnt, or the phone shows a liquid or moisture alert, unplug it and stop charging it by cable, and call the store.

What to know about the iPhone 14 Pro Max

Lint is the usual suspect
Apple's first step for an iPhone that won't charge is to remove any debris from the charging port. A Lightning plug that doesn't seat fully often means lint is packed at the back of the port. We check and clean it first, and only talk about a new port if cleaning doesn't fix it.
Check the cable and adapter too
Try a second cable and power adapter you know work. If both fail on your phone but work on another iPhone, the port is the likely problem.
Wired CarPlay needs the port
If you use CarPlay with a cable, a worn or dirty Lightning port can make it drop out. Mention it, since it's a good sign the connection, not the car, is the issue.

Before you bring it in

Show the 4 steps
  1. Back up to iCloud over Wi-Fi if the phone still works: Settings > your name > iCloud > iCloud Backup > Back Up Now. A computer backup needs a working port, so iCloud is the easier route.

  2. Have your passcode ready so we can unlock the phone and test charging once the port is sorted out.

  3. Bring the cable and power adapter you use at home. We test with them as well as ours.

  4. Don't dig in the port with a pin, toothpick, or anything metal. We check and clean the port first.
